NLEC Worship with Larry Rice is more than a worship experience. It is the revolutionary empowerment event whose participants are society’s rejects, the poor, fatherless, and homeless, but who are finding hope through the revolutionary Gospel of Jesus Christ to the extent that they are able to reach out through the work of New Life Evangelistic Center as leaders in the fields of broadcasting, renewable energy, and direct help services to others who are in need.
Larry Rice was born in McAllen, Texas in 1949 where he graduated from Sharyland High School in 1967.

Larry Rice was ordained through Calvary Temple in Fort Wayne on December 12, 1971. In 1987 he was honored with a Doctor of Divinity Degree from McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois.
